CONFIDENCE
sald Lord Chatham, "is a plant of slow growth.". People believe in things that they sec, and in a broad sense they are right, What is sometimes called blind faith is no! faith at all. Thers must he reason and fact to, form a foundation for trust. In regard to a medicine or remedy, for example, people ask. "Has it cured others? Have cases like mine heen relieved by it? Is it in harmony with the truths of modern science, and has it a record above suspicion? If so, it is worthy of confidence; and if 1 am ever attacked by any of the maladies for which it is commended shall resort to it in fail belief in its power to help ma" On these lines.
Wild Cherry.
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION has won its high reputation among medical men, and the people of all civilized countries. They trust it for the same reason that they trust in the familiar.laws of nature, or in the action of common things. This effective remedy is palatable as honey and contains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oik extracted by us from fresh cod "livers, combined with the Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and It quickly eradicates the poisonous, disease-breeding acids and other taxic matters from the system; regulates and promotes the normal action of the organs, gives vigorous appetite and digestion, and is infallible in Prostration-following Favers, Anemia. Scrofula; Inßuenza, Wasting Diseases. Throat and Lung Troubles, etc. Dr. W. A. Young, of Canada, says: "Your tasteless pre- paration of cod liver oil has given me uniformly satisfactory results, my patients having been of all ages. It is a product of the skill and science of to-day and is successful after the old style' modes of treatment have been appealed to in vain. To try it is to trust forever after. It cannot disappoint you and is effective from the first dose. Sold by chemists everywhere.

the figures relating to is position and outlook are not of too comforting a character. The principal foreign merchant navies are in- more sing much faster than ours: from 1890 to 1902 their rat o of growth was 23.6 par. cat, nå against 16.7 per cent, on the part of is country. The way in which British ship- ging is losing its ground is in some instances highly significant. "In the port of Hamburg, for instance, the tonnage of British arrivals duri ing the last decade has risen from 29 millions to Jather over ahree millions, while in the sume period tonnage arriving under the German flag has increased from zł millions to almost five millions--a riking figure, even though I am- bag is a German port. If we turn to British colonies, where better things might be expected, oficial fi, ures generally show the some melan choly tale. In Newfoundland the percentage of British and colonial shipping to the total shipping in 1880 was 92.3, and the foreign per.. In 1903 the British, and rentage was 7.7. Colonial percentage was 64.6, and the foreign had been size to 35.4. At the Austrian ports. the British percentage of the tonnage oversea slips entered and cleared was 76 in 1861, OFFICES in KING'S BUILDING and YORK 65 in 1891, and 51 in 1902 in Hong Hong, which is
where Cus- ao open porl toms duties are not levied, the tonnage of British ships since 1886 has increased 30 per cent, while that of Germany, has in- creased 80 per cent, and that of Japan one hundred-fold. In in
In Singapore, another open port, the British increase since 1886 is 60 per cent., while Germany has doubled her tonnage, and that of Japan has increased over ninety-fold." Even in British ports we are steadily losing In thirteen years ground to the feigners. the proportion of British shipping at home ports has fallen from 72.7 10 65.5 per cent, while foreign" tonnage has increased from 27.3 per cent, to 345 Mr. Cecil, who was chairman of the Shipping Subsidies Committee, is able to show very effectively the part, which the hostile legislation of foreign countries plays in the restriction of our inercantile marine, and he advocates as a natural remedy that reservation of coasting trade to native vessels, which many of our rivals have pmctised with such im purtant results.

Among the hundre baskets are the finest types of native handwork, to be found in America. According to Dr. Wiessler the Indians make them of fine spruce roote which re peeled, dried and prepared until they are like hemp, with a smooth finish ad
a bright natur t color, and when woven csly make a water tight basket. Some of them are not only arstic specimens of weaving, design and coloring, but they have a religious symbolical s gnificance, meaning much to the natives who manufacture them. These baskets are used for all kinds of don eslie purposes and are so perfectly woven that they will not only hold water but water can be boiled in them. This is accomplished by dropping red hot stones into the pot until dinner is cooked. li is said that neither iron nor any other instal can compare with an ordinary boulder for giving out heat for a considerable length of
time.
"One of the most interesting anicles in the collection, from the Museum standpoint, is a wooden spoon holding a gallon, two and one; half feet long, handle and all. At either and of the bowl is a remarkably well carved humanı I end, and the body, on the reverse side of the spoon with outspread legs, is climblug up lind peeping over the edge of the bowl.
The other object is a dancing cane, one of several of various patterns. It is five feet long, onderously carved and painted, representing
fish
race, beginning with a salmon and hali
a dozen ducks carved on its back, followed by a whale and three salmon following the whale, the whole ending in another duck having a man's head in its mouth. It is a curious myth-, plogical monstrosity, evidently embodying sae superstitious idea that all these animals and man are closely connected.
One of the headdresses is an elaborate con-- ection of paint and nightmare--a mask with white eyes, the face inlaid with abalone shells, Another curiosity is a figure called "graye clothes it in carved out of wood, with grinding mask for the bead-pleco. In many ways these things suggest Egyptian and Assyrian antiquiller, but in detail they are quite different an interesting collection and occupying a place of honour in the mosau,
